Blanche Lee

Well, our baby is here and it's a girl! We named her Blanche Lee. Most people know that was my dream name for a daughter since I was about ten and luckily I think it suits her just fine. She arrived Tuesday, March 13th at 3:28 AM, weighed 8 lbs 11 oz, and is 21 inches long. Turns out she's perfect :)

This is not about my labor so I'm not going into that online but to say it ended up being an emergency c-section, which still makes me sad, but she made it and she's healthy so that's all that matters. Our stay at the hospital was not the best for being stuck there for three days with the crappiest nurses on the planet who hate their jobs, so it was nice when we finally got to go home. We had some help the first week home which was good and now we have to focus on moving things which is super duper stressful when we have Blanche to consider too.

That's all I really have time to say right now. It's hard to accomplish unnecessary tasks with a newborn. My time typing this could have been better used cutting my nails. Oh well, gotta fit in some fun things. Anyway, we love her to death and she's as cute as a button. Her next appointment is on the 2nd so hopefully we find she's still doing perfect and growing well.

Later!

This Month is THE Month!

Happy March! March = Eyeball :)

Yesterday we had the "Leap Day Blizzard". It was pretty insane for probably only getting 8 or 9 inches. But the wind created huuuge drifts. Matt was out there shoveling ours and our old lady neighbors driveway for a couple hours. I felt bad I couldn't help.

We had our (possibly) second to last doctor's appointment yesterday in all that snow and I'm soooo glad Matt was here so that he could drive me because it was super stressful. Everything was good with Eye and me so we still just have to wait. Next week my doctor will be working in L&D which is good if my baby decides to come a few days early, because I'd prefer my doctor deliver it. But if I do get to have a 39 and a half week appointment I have to see her RN and I'm not really excited about seeing someone else for what hopefully will be my last appointment. Oh well, I've heard you have to be flexible with babies ;)

That's all I'm going to say for now because I don't even want to begin to think of next month which will probably be a worst month ever following this best month ever. So y'all can hear about that in probably a couple months or whenever I'll have time to update!

Later!
